Google's new "GigaPan Time Machine" application, lets you zoom in and out of a time-lapse video without losing resolution.

Each Time Machine on this page captures a process in extreme detail over space and time, with billions of pixels of explorable resolution. Choose a time machine and zoom into the image while traveling backwards or forwards through time. Select a Time Warp and the time machine’s authors will take you on a guided space-time tour with text annotations explaining what you are viewing. You can even learn how to create your own Time Machines and Warps.

lol.. Its not a matter of grave concern bro. I think they are gonna add support for firefox soon.

PS: Dont you keep Chrome installed as a backup, for such cases?
For me, I keep FF, Chrome and also Opera! IE is preinstalled :)) (Just in case)

Opera main browser...
Firefox as backup... (it has the highest market share after IE so all websites should support it)

now how many more browsers should i keep installed? what would be the point if i have all of 'em installed :mad:

Very interesting but the 'Time Machine' part is really exaggerated.
